Lessons From 150 Years of Commodity Investing – SS&C ALPS Advisors and USCF Investments – 2.13.20

Image Description

Summary:

Now On Demand.

2019 was a mixed bag for commodities – from impressive returns for WTI Crude Oil to a trade war that wreaked havoc on many commodity sectors. Looking back 150 years, what can we learn about how commodities perform in various market conditions? Looking ahead, what do commodities mean to the current market and beyond? Understanding price movements across the asset class can help advisors structure their portfolios accordingly. Join us for this live discussion that will cover:

  • Commodities may be (surprisingly) more likely to beat cash than equities
  • Why research suggests a portfolio allocation to commodities should not be zero
  • What are the best commodity sectors to invest in?
  • The past and the future for commodity investing
